I kinda met joel for the first time in cancun in 2005.
GC were at this hotel i was staying at because they were filming the latin VMA'S there and joel was laying like 20 feet away from me on the beach and later on i was swimming in the pool with him! But i never talked to him cuz i was to shy...
But anyways they canceled the VMA'S there cuz hurricane Wilma was coming but i think thats where Benji wrote Beautiful Place cuz he said he was in mexico during hurricane season when he wrote it but im not sure.
Yeah I have! I wish i would have. i was like only 13 then and i wasnt a huge fan of them yet but i remember i was listing to the anthem on my CD player and then i look over and he was right there on the beach haha it was weird!!
